SELMA, n. C., Feb. II, 1887.
GeNflfmen.-Yours inquiring wheth-
er or not | had been benefited by kas-
kline, and if so to what extent, &c, to
hand. In reply viii say that my heal,h
has not been as good in twenty years
as now. l suffered with chills from
malarial poison contracted while serv-
ing in the Confederate army on the
Peninsular Campaigns in Virginia. Did
not miss having chill at least once in
twenty-one days, and more frequently
once in seven days, for more than If
teen years.
In this condition l visited New York
in November, 1885, on business.
While there l stopped with Mr.. Z. d.
Barker, of the University Publishing
Company / told Mr. Barker of my
condition. He called my attention to
your Kaskine and procured for me
bottle. After my return home | took
the pellets as directed and found much
relief afforded thereby. Ofthis change
| wrote Mr.. Barker, who sent two or
three bottles during the past year. My
health greatly improved. l increased
in weight from los pounds to 400
pounds, my present weight l beleve
the Kaskine did it, Quinine had fail
ed, as had other remedies usually adj
ministered in such cases.
Now, unless in case of exposure to
extra bad weather, do not have chills,
and my general health is quite good.
| turned over half a bottle to a young
lady friend few weeks since. Ileam
from her mother that she was much
benefited by it while it lasted.
trust you may be able to introduce
Kaskine generally in this country, in
which many suffer from diseases con-
sequent upon malarial poison in the
system. From my own experience |
can emphasize its excellence for such
diseases. IfIcan serve you call on me-
l am very truly yours,
JOHN c. SCARBOROUGH.
Seven years ago had an attack of
bilious remittent fever, which ran into
intermittent malarial. l tried all the
known remedies, such as arsenic, mer-
curry and quinine. The latter was ad-
ministered to me in heavy and contin-
ued doses. Malaria brought on ner-
vous prostration and dyspepsia, from
which suffered everything. Last win
ter / heard of Kaskine and began us
ing it. A few bottles of the wonderful
drug cured me. Malaria and dyspep-
STA disappeared and as you have seen
June day brighter for the summer
storm that had passed across the sky,
SO the cloud left my life and my health
became steady and strong.

city can be pushed as successfully as any
where III the country. Every year the
demand for the 2 & W. brands OF cigars
calls for greater facilities and the employ
ment of more labor, which shows how i'm
portant it is for La Crosse to encourage
and promote such industries
The state inspector in his report for 1886
pays the following compliment to the
management: "The factory is in an ele-
CANT condition, with ample means of es-
cape; the firm prides itself on the neat
and clean condition of its factory, and

Of the kind to surpass it,
The uniform kind treatment and in
providing conveniences for the welfare of
employees, commends this firm in tbe'eyes
of the public, and their popularity abroad
has done much towards achieving the
success which the business has attained.
They have demonstrated that cigars of
superior merit can be manufactured here
in La Crosse, and that the present capac-
ity of the factory will have to be largely
increased at no distant day. 1t is very
encouraging to see La Crosse institutions

TALKED WITH THE CRIMINALS.

Rev. J. NJ. Campbell occupied the Con
gregational church pulp at Waupun
last Sunday. Before the time for the
regular morning service, Mr.. Campbell
addressed the prisoners in the state prison
chapel. His audience numbered $50, be-
ing somewhat larger than the average
congregations assembled on Sundays in
the churches in WATERFOWL. They were
good, attentive and close listeners, and SO
demonstrative in action as no! to leave
the speaker long in doubt "a to whether
his ideas met their approval or not. When
suited the pleasure was clearly defined iD
every look and expression of the coun-
tenance, and when the opinion expressed
was not relished the speaker was made
fully aware of the fact by the scraping of
feet on the floor, whisperings coughing
and other similar demonstrations. But
Mr. Campbell says, on the whole, be
never enjoyed service more than he did
this one.

A FL0URlSHlNG INDUSTRY.

A Chronicle representative was recent
ly shown through the establishment of
the Pamperin & Wiggenhorn cigar man
ufacturng company, of this city, located
at 2G1 and 223 Main street A very no.
ticeable feature is the perfect system en-
ployed in every department of the bust
ness from basement to roof. The propri-
etors have had over thirty years exper-
ience and every department receives
personal attention.
The Pamperin & Wiggenhorn cigar
manufacturing company dates back 10
1886, when the senior member, John Pam
perrin, established it as an individual en-
terprise. In the spring of 1886 he asso-
cated with himself in the business E.
Wiggenhorn, the founder of the firm of
Wiggenhorn Bros, at WATERFOWL, this
state, as corporation association, under
the above title, with capital of $50 900.
The present building consists of three
stories and double basement. The fac
torv on the third floor is 45x75 feet, and
is so arranged that the stripping and pre-
pairing of tobaccos, the making and assort-
ing of cigars, each constitute separate
department. The firm gives employ ment
TO fifty-nine hands at the present time,
who earn an aggregate of over $4,000
per annum. They turn out about two
million of cigars per year, most of which
are of the finer grades.
The extent to which the business of
this house has reached shows that it is
one of the very important institutions of
the city. It's reputation abroad is extern
sive aud increasing. The members of
this firm are popular, and have demon
strated that with good management, ex-
perience and using great pains and good

HOMESTEAD ENTRIES.

Acting Secretary Muldrow Renders a
Decision Concerning Them.
WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-Acting Secretary
Muldrow to-day RENDERED decision in the
case Of the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail-
road Company VS.. Nathaniel P. Clabourne,
on appeal by the railroad company from
the decision of the General Land Office. The
decision affirms the Commissioner, and
holds that a homestead entry made
in November, 1858, on the land included
in the indemnity belt of the grant
in aid of the plaintiffs road, must
be sustained under the act of April 81 1876,
such entry having been made 'by permis-
sion of the land department after the expi-
ration of the grant The act of April 81,
1876, is construed to mean that. SO far as
concerns lands covered 10y entries otherwise
regular, prior, actual expiration of the
grant" (by lapse of time) shall
be deemed to have revoked
the withdrawal, even though such
expiration" may not have been decided
and insisted on as ground of forfeiture. AS
to such lands, that is to say, the act of 1876
is itself "a legislative proceeding" needed
as an expression of the will of Congress
that forfeiture be insisted on. The act of
April 10, 1869, ''reviving and renewing" the
grant, the Acting Secretary holds, does not
prevent the operation of the act of 1876, as
the act of 1869 must be taken to have been
made with reference to the state of things
existing at the date of its enactment.

higher in the throat, but it has not the
malignant appearance of the growth which
appeared toward tho close of the Crown
Princes stay at Raveno but has since
diminished, the swelling of the glands hav-
ing entirely disappeared. DR.. Mackenzie
is about TO make professional visit to AL
giers. He will return afterwards to San
